Sentencing of former Troy City Manager Brian Kischnick on a bribery charge has been rescheduled for Jan. 24 in U.S. District Court in Detroit.

The sentencing is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. before Judge Nancy Edmunds.

The sentencing has been rescheduled several times. It was most recently scheduled for Jan. 16.

Kischnick pleaded guilty last year to receiving about $20,000 in bribes from a paving contractor.

The bribes came in the form of cash and meals.

His attorney, Anjali Prasad, disputed the amount of the bribes but acknowledged that Kischnick “was wrong” to accept payments from a city contractor.

The City Council voted unanimously to fire Kischnick from his $161,000-per-year job in March after he was arrested for shoving a female companion to the ground during an argument outside a Clawson house. He later pleaded no contest to domestic violence. His companion was a city employee.

In addition, he was the subject of a 2016 internal investigation for allegations that he failed to report a car crash involving a city vehicle in Clawson and had approved questionable spending that the council never approved.
